From Guinea to Greece – how a basketball camp is changing lives across continents - ekathimerini.gr
What started with a few pairs of donated sneakers has grown into a grassroots sports movement uniting two continents. In Guinea, where many young people lack access to basic resources – let alone organized sports – a basketball camp with deep ties to Greece is rewriting what opportunity can look like.
Each summer, “Basketball Pour Tous” (Basketball for Everyone) opens its doors to children across the West African country, offering far more than training. The camp provides shelter, clothing, food, medical care and mentorship – all through a project founded by Alpha Aguibou Diallo, a professional basketball player who has spent much of his life in Greece and continues to build the program with support from Greek clubs, coaches and teammates.
